She's lovely.......


She's a lovely sewing sewing machine, isn't she?  Ready to go in a your choice of a carry case or table.
She's a teal colored White 231 with good looks and a shady past.....
When I first met this machine she was in an espresso machine repair depot. Her owners told me something of her history, including the tidbit that she had spent time serving in a notorious house of ill repute somewhere on the Sunshine coast. What precisely would need to be sewn, in such a place, is beyond me, but then, I don't know much about those places.
How ever I do know a little bit about sewing machines and she's a good sewer. Reliable, sturdy Japanese machine of the 1950's or 60's, straight stitch, easy to use and service.
Given these machines have a life span of about a century or so, it's fun to imagine where else she might have been could end up in the course of her sewing career.
Just serviced and ready for Christmas
